A bright, impeccably clean, and authentic no-frills gem serving up legendary Kannadiga tiffins and dosas.
Ordering Strategy
Embrace the tiffins-only menu (don't expect North Indian curries here). If you visit on a Tuesday, grab the Mini Tiffins to sample a bit of everything.
What to order
Benne Masala Dosa
MTR's most popular dish, made with generous amounts of fresh butter. It is smaller and thicker than a typical dosa and is described as being in a league of its own.
Onion Rava Masala Dosa
Made with semolina (rava), this dish is much larger and thinner than other options and is cited as the only item where 'one serving fills my tummy'.
Rava Idli
The restaurant's trademark dish which they invented in the 1940s. It is a steamed semolina rice cake served with coconut chutney and vegetable sagu.
Cold Badam Milk
A perfect, not-too-sweet accompaniment to savory tiffins that is a favorite among regulars.
Vada
Considered one of the best in London, these are crisp on the outside and soft enough on the inside that they 'literally melt in your mouth'.

Good to know
The restaurant is quite small with only about 12 tables, but the service is super quick and highly attentive.
